The Subreddit in question is r/malefashionadvice, for anyone who doesn’t want to click through
They keep cracking down on subs like that. It's like they are scared of the reaction to taking over a major sub like videos.
Dragging out the take overs is such a colossal fuck up. If you’re gonna be a piece of shit you announce it, let people be pissed, ignore it, and then crush the dissent when the day comes.
If anything this just shows spez/reddit are completely incompetent, more than anyone already knew. He’s too much of a pussy to pull the trigger and do the shit he very obviously intends to do. A dumbass and a coward. What a combination.
r/videos is back up though. The protest ended up being for nothing.
It's 'up'. And text only. You are only allowed to post descriptions of videos.
They’re back up. I just checked, there was a vote and they allow videos again.
....god dammit.
So happy to see that piece of shit website finally come to light. I realized years ago when low life moderators like TheYellowRose could be racist and run subs into the ground, banning people for getting tattoos that are "cultural appropriation" and muting them immediately.
Fuck spez, fuck TheYellowRose and all the loser shit humans that have nothing good going for them other than a mod title on a echo chamber.
The only mod is asking people to submit comments with why they want to be a mod there including their experience. The answers are mostly hilarious and sarcastic. Some are just chat gpt responses. My favorite is this:
I'd love to be a mod of MFA, I consider myself as a connoisseur of high fashion as I only purchase top brands such as Kirkland, Sketchers, and Uggs. The last few years this sub has been plagued with low effort and low-class fashion sense, I believe I was put on this earth to turn this place around. I'd like to thank u/spez for getting rid of these scrubs who let these cretins roam free posting their terrible fits.
1 mod, 5.4 million subscribers. Good fucking luck.
I can see quality of posts getting worse and worse. Bots reposting, comments filled with low effort puns and one liners. I hardly ever got on Twitter and even less now but before I would see interesting tweets and comments but not anymore. I believe Reddit will be just the same.
I don't think it's necessarily newsworthy as they've stated they would do that since the beginning of the uprising. They would be silly to sit on their thumbs while losing communities with millions of subs to protest. Open it, recruit a few people that could care less about 3rd party access and keep raking in that dough.
While this is logical it completely destroys their image and the whole point of volunteers creating these subreddits/their now selectively chosen guidelines they follow only when it benefits them 😆
To go into more detail on the point of their image being ruined they were all about community and what the community wanted/being more transparent then this shit happens 😂 joke of a company
We should start a sub-fedder called ISTA (Is Spez the Asshole). Of course, the answer would always be "yes."
We need one for this image alone, it seemed to really get his knickers in a twist lol.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
